bad 8 4 34 Movements for similar legisiation are now under way in Arizona, Florâ€" ida, Idaho, Kentucky and New Mexico. lowa was the first state to pass legâ€" islation providing for the support of municipal bands, this being largely due to the influence of Major George W. Landers of Clarinda, Iowa, whose efforts in behalf of this measure in his own and other states has brought him the title, "Father of Band Tax Cities May Levy The law in lowa, as, in a majority of the other states which have a band tax law, provides that cities may levy a tax for the purpose of establishing and maintaining municipal bands, or for paying some existing band to furâ€" nish concerts. This tax can be levied only after it has been authorized by vote of the citizens, and the question is submitted for vote upon petition of a certain per cent of the qualified votâ€" ers of the city or town. Provision is made for repeal of the tax in similar fashion. ' Taxation. in support of municipal bands and orchestras is now legal in twentyâ€"six out of the 48 states in the Union, it is shown in a survey conâ€" eluded by the Conn Music Center. Illinois is among the states that have passed this sort of legislation. & Distribute Expense "The important virtue of a band tax law is that it distributes the expense evenly and impartiallyâ€"everyone enâ€" joys the music and everyone pays his share," says Maj. Landers.. "The large number of contributors makes the cost of each one exceedingly small. In Long Beach, Calif., for inâ€" stance, they have band concerts every day but Monday, except for a two weeks vacation in the spring, and it costs the citizens, even with the unâ€" usually large number of performâ€" ances, only about 85 cents per year. In Clarinda, lowa, the cost is about 35 cents per capita, which expenditure pays for about fifty public concerts presented throughout the year." TAX SUPPORTED . â€" In Indiana The most common , alternative to the band tax law is a p‘rovision whereâ€" by a municipality may appropriate funds for bands or band ¢oncerts without any special tax for that purâ€" pose. This is the method used in Indiana, whereby any municipality may appropriate through its common council any sum not to exceed $1,200 per year to be used in providing pubâ€" lic concerts. In a few iSolated cases, cities in states which have no band tax laws have nevertheless appropriâ€" ated funds for the purpose of providâ€" ing free concerts for their citizens. The theory which permits action of this kind is that such appropriations are legitimate since there is no law against them.
